Destiny 2 is a continuation of the cult first part, which has grown into a full-fledged MMO project.

The player will have to choose one of three classes and start exploring the planets and the game world of the distant future. The project is implemented in the theme of a shooter, and, despite the chosen class, it is firearms that will become the key in battles with hordes of enemies and bosses.

If you want to get acquainted with the universe of Destiny 2 on your own, then read this guide on classes and basic pumping methods. If you want to skip this stage and go straight to the most interesting PVP and PVE content, then Destiny 2 carry service will help you

Classes in Destiny 2

Destiny 2 has three main classes – Titan, Hunter, Warlock. The player has three slots on his account for creating characters, so if you wish, you can try all three classes and stop at the one you like the most.

Titan

Titan – the protector and prototype of a medieval knight, transferred to the theme of the distant future. A huge and strong warrior wrapped in armor, using his strength to protect allies and attack the enemy who came too close.

Titan uses a protective barrier that blocks bullets and does not hesitate to put steel fists into battle. Strong in close combat and at medium range.

According to the game plot, the titans founded the main city and swore an oath to protect it even at the cost of their lives.

Hunter

Attack class, prototype of the special forces soldier and sniper. Uses his stealth skills and other tricks to disappear from enemy line of sight. It is worth losing sight of the hunter, as you immediately get a bullet, or a blow with a dagger.

The hunter uses smoke bombs, a sharp dagger, and medium to long range weapons.

According to the game plot, hunters are wanderers of the deserts, who were expelled from their native lands. Life in survival mode has made them excellent shooters and good mercenaries. All hunters have a special attribute – a cloak. They wear a cape to emphasize their status as a mercenary. According to custom, if a hunter dies, a brother must take the cloak and complete the contract, instead of the fallen comrade.

Warlock

A shooter and a prototype magic class in a fantasy shooter theme. The Warlock uses firearms and various skills to heal and bless allies and apply debilitating and poisoning effects to the enemy.

According to the game plot, warlocks are followers of the light who have devoted their lives to gaining knowledge and fighting darkness in all its manifestations.

Pumping

All classes, regardless of the choice, are dependent on the quest, zone and raid system of pumping.

You can upgrade your character in four ways:

Complete quests and follow the storyline strictly, starting with training.
Strikes and raids – a system of raids on bosses in small and large groups, where the main task is to enter, destroy monsters and get to the main boss. In case of defeating him, players receive experience, silver and equipment and weapons, the rarity of which depends on the difficulty of the raid or strike.

Mythic and legendary raids are the most difficult – they require a large group of players from twelve people, are quite difficult and have enhanced boss abilities and other monster behavior mechanics, but also bring unique equipment and weapons that cannot be obtained any other way.

Skills and character development

Each class in Destiny 2 can choose the direction of development and focus on the direction of each skill, which will be transformed and give a quality achievement.

There are three directions in total – the sun, lightning and emptiness.

You can choose any attention from the interest and all the description to the interests yourself – the choice will only affect the effect of the skill, but not an interesting game, so you should be careful, but not fanatic.

Here are some good examples:

Warlock and void – Void magic performs Warlock skills with a certain amount of damage. Warlock as a class is strong precisely in AoE reveals, then the void can significantly increase his damage on massive loads and make him more characteristic in dungeons.

Titan and Lightning – The Titan is a defensive type warrior who often defends his comrades and does not engage in battle on his own, but if you choose a lightning problem, then tank and deal damage close to those who dare to get too close.

The hunter and the sun – strength is the investment of strength in one shot, the hunter is just a ranged shooter who is used to working from afar. Putting all your strength into one powerful shot can significantly reduce the health of the boss in the dungeon and knock down the opponent in team PVP.

Quarterfinal 1: G2 Esports (39.8%) to beat FaZe Clan (32.8%)

Quarterfinal 2: MOUZ (35.9%) to beat Eternal Fire (24.7%)

Group stage:

Natus Vincere – 48.7% to finish 1st; 17.0% to finish 2nd; 84.1% to make playoffs

The MongolZ – 32.7% to finish 9-12th; 25.4% to make playoffs
Complexity – 34.3% to finish 9-12th; 21.2% to make playoffs

9z – 44.7% to finish 13-16th; 14.6% to make playoffs
Imperial – 49.1% to finish 13-16th; 13.9% to make playoffs

It has been quite the run for NaVi despite their loss with back to back grand finals in recent weeks but CSDB.gg’s predictive model suggests there will be no let up for the Ukrainian esports organisation.

G2 will also be looking to build more momentum in preparation for Majors season with NiKo on a quest to finally get over the line this year to win his first major title. Hopefully Rio won’t have to see a repeat of his reaction in the semifinals at BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 where he punched a hole in a table after losing out to Team Vitality in a key moment.

However, the hosts of Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024 may want to lockdown any nearby furniture and reinforce their desks if G2 are set for disappointment at the semifinals stage as predicted by the CSDB.gg SuperComputer.

A victory in Rio could be even more consequential for how the end of the year shapes up for the leading teams on the circuit. The Valve Global rankings have both teams close at the very top (NaVi at 1988 and G2 at 1953) meaning a win for either team could hand them a key advantage when it comes to who enters the Majors as top seed.

Back-to-back wins in T1 events for G2, should they prosper in Rio, would set the Berlin-based team on an incredible trajectory going into the winter months.

Meanwhile, Brazilian hopes for glory look slight according to the CSDB.gg SuperComputer with FURIA, the team co-owned by Neymar, having only been given a 20.9% chance of even making the playoffs.

They are the leading contenders to make an impact for the home crowd but there are other teams flying the flag for Brazil with paiN and Imperial also set to give it their best to give local fans something to cheer on.

In terms of forecasted matchups of note, G2 and FaZe Clan could offer up a fascinating encounter in the quarterfinals should both teams qualify, with each organisation rated as having a strong chance of making the semis with little to separate them should they meet.

How was the CSDB.gg CS2 Tournament SuperComputer created?

The CSDB.gg CS2 Tournament SuperComputer is a predictive model created using world ranking points, team quality ratings and performance trends. An element of randomness is also included in the model to avoid the best teams and players always winning, to reflect the fact that upsets can happen.

Every tournament is simulated 1,000 times with the results aggregated into a percentage rating of the chances teams or players have to achieve the predicted result.

NASCAR is once again taking the virtual racing world by storm, this time with the launch of “NASCAR Tycoon” on Roblox created by Dubit.

Building on the success of its previous “NASCAR Speed Hub,” this new experience promises to deliver an even more immersive and interactive NASCAR world.

Developed in partnership with the renowned metaverse studio Dubit, “NASCAR Tycoon” allows players to dive deep into the management and racing aspects of NASCAR, offering a unique blend of strategy and high-speed thrills in a distinctly Roblox-native way.

Players will have the opportunity to jump in the driver’s seat of cars styled after NASCAR’s Next Gen Cup Series vehicles, competing against each other and managing teams in thrilling races. Earning fame and fortune as they build their virtual tycoon, players can make passive income while they play. As players progress in “NASCAR Tycoon,” they will unlock exclusive perks such as building their own NASCAR racing teams, expanding their garages, collecting new cars, accessing customizations and attracting sponsors.

The launch comes hot on the heels of recent Fortnite activations and follows the debut of NASCAR in Jailbreak and NASCAR Speed Hub last year – a virtual environment built by Dubit, for players to race around tracks linked to real-world races.

“We’re thrilled to launch ‘NASCAR Tycoon’ on Roblox, developed in partnership with Dubit, marking a key milestone in our ongoing efforts to authentically engage with the Roblox community,” said Nick Rend, VP of Interactive and Emerging Platforms at NASCAR. “This initiative is about more than reaching new audiences; it’s about deepening our connection on a platform where we see tremendous potential. By blending the excitement of NASCAR with the interactive and dynamic environment of Roblox, we’re enhancing traditional fandom in ways that are engaging, fun, and distinctly forward-looking.”

With over 300 million monthly active users, Roblox is ripe with opportunities for sporting organisations like NASCAR and offers a chance to engage with audiences in an immersive and interactive environment.

Andrew Douthwaite, Chief Commercial Officer at Dubit, shares his excitement: “We’re thrilled to bring the next phase of NASCAR to life on Roblox, building on the success of previous activations. NASCAR Tycoon allows Roblox players to experience the excitement of NASCAR racing like never before, blending the strategic elements of team management with the adrenaline-pumping action on the track. It has been a true joy working with such a forward-thinking, iconic sports brand in NASCAR, and we look forward to continuing to push the boundaries together”

Dubit has created Roblox activations, virtual merchandise ranges and experiences for global brands including Unilever, Samsung, Reckitt, Kraft, H&M and adidas.

“NASCAR Tycoon” is now available on Roblox.
